John Duane Kalles, 81, was last seen on September 2, 2021, at a Safeway in Shelton, Washington. The routine grocery trip was the last confirmed sighting of a man described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 154 pounds, with white hair and brown eyes. His disappearance was out of character and prompted immediate concern from those who knew him.

About a week later Kalles’s car was found abandoned in Aberdeen, Washington, but he was not at the scene and the vehicle yielded no clear answers. He was known to enjoy Washington’s coastal areas, and there is speculation he may have been heading toward Kalaloch in Olympic National Park. The Aberdeen Police Department is investigating and asks anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the Shelton or Aberdeen area see John or his car around September 2–9, 2021?
